.. function:: int([x[, radix]])
- Convert a string or number to a plain integer. If the argument is a string, it
- must contain a possibly signed decimal number representable as a Python integer,
- possibly embedded in whitespace. The *radix* parameter gives the base for the
- conversion and may be any integer in the range [2, 36], or zero. If *radix* is
- zero, the proper radix is guessed based on the contents of string; the
- interpretation is the same as for integer literals. If *radix* is specified and
- *x* is not a string, :exc:`TypeError` is raised. Otherwise, the argument may be
- a plain or long integer or a floating point number. Conversion of floating
- point numbers to integers truncates (towards zero). If the argument is outside
- the integer range a long object will be returned instead. If no arguments are
- given, returns ``0``.
